Feel Good Friday #13

Feel Good Friday #13

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. --Buddha

Economics. It’s what is on everyone’s mind these days. We have been conditioned to think of economics of some cut and dried, boring subject, all about numbers and statistics, reports and graphs.

But really economics is people. An old saying goes like this: A recession is what happens to someone else, when it happens to me it’s a depression. The current situation is happening to me. It’s happening to you. To us, people living our day to day lives.

Here’s a feel good story about the altruism of economics. It turns out we humans are not motivated only by the almighty buck. As a matter of fact we might even be more motivated by doing the right things, by creating connection with one another, or by fairness. Enjoy.

Go forth and do something kind for no reason other than to do something kind!
